Each of the membranes is divided into parts of suitable shapes, and adjacent membranes are discretely connected to each other by bridge belts (10) to suppress the residual crease strain. The petals (6) are symmetric with respect to the center of the hub (2). Deployment force is provided in the circumferential direction by the introduction of imaginary tension lines. The petals may be connected to each other to help deployment.

Abstract: A method for preparing an electrode for a battery comprising:
   (a) preparing a finely-divided carbon powder by subjecting a mass of carbon material to
an impact comminuting operation to reduce the particles of said mass to a size wherein the
interlayer spacing, d 002 , is in excess of about 0.35 mm, said carbon powder exhibiting a specific
surface BET area of less than about 200 square meters per gram, and the time of comminuting
proceeding considerably beyond a maximum observed in a curve of BET surface area value as a
function of time upon impact grinding, and proceeding beyond said maximum to a time of grinding
whereby reversible capacity becomes asymptotic with said time of grinding; and   (b) distributing said carbon powder in a binder which forms a matrix for retaining

Abstract: Production and selection of new catalysts involves selecting solid materials of different composition; newly structuring original catalysts and subsequent catalyst generations; and determining the performance parameters of each catalyst generation and selecting the mixed catalysts of one or more catalyst generations. Production and selection of new catalysts comprises selecting solid materials of different composition; newly structuring original catalysts and subsequent catalyst generations; and determining the performance parameters of each catalyst generation and selecting the mixed catalysts of one or more catalyst generations. New structuring is carried out so that a mixed catalyst is selected with a uniform distribution from a generation of catalysts and a second mixed catalyst from the same generation with a probability Wi of one or more numeric random generators with uniform distribution. The probability Wi is determined by Wi=((sigma j between 1 and n) - i)/(sigma j between 1 and n), where (a) i and j = the order of priority of the catalysts arranged according to increasing catalytic performance; (b) and n = the number of catalysts in one generation A single component containing in one of the catalysts is selected from the mixed catalysts according the random principle using a numeric random generator, and two new catalyst compositions of the next catalyst generations are established so that the selected component is then added to the catalyst. New structuring of a catalyst of the next generation based on the principle of the mutation is carried out in such a way that initially a mixed catalyst is selected from a catalyst generation using a random generator, a single component is selected and removed or added. Preferred Features: The number of generations is 5-50 and the number of single components is 10-30.

Abstract: The concentration of gas generated in an anaerobic fermenting liquid is
controlled, preferably maintained below saturation, by removal of dissolved gas by
diffusion during at least part of the fermentation. The removal of gas reduces the
amount of foam produced by the fermentation and provides a source of gas for
downstream treatment of a fermentation product or export from the fermentation
process. The invention has particular application to fermentation processes generating
carbon dioxide, especially brewing beer.

Abstract: An evaluation system for detecting an anomalous response
to a particular question from a plurality of questions is
described. The evaluation system includes a first input
for receiving a signal denoting that a question has been
delivered to the trainee and a second input for receiving
a signal denoting that the trainee has submitted a
response to the question. A timer coupled between the
first and second inputs determines the time elapsed
between the trainee receiving the question and submitting
a response to the question. The trainee is required to
submit a confidence level in his response and the
evaluation system includes a confidence level receiver for
receiving a signal relating to the trainee's confidence
level in his response. For each of the plurality of
questions data relating to a score, confidence level and
the elapsed time are stored. An anomaly processor
processes the score, confidence level and elapsed time
data for a set of questions taken from the plurality of
questions. An output indicating whether or not an
anomalous response to a particular question is detected is
produced. The evaluation system is particularly suited
for use in a computerised training system where a
trainee's responses to a set of questions must be assessed
to determine whether or not the trainee passes the
assessment.

Abstract: A device for precision alignment of a write element (41) of a tape head
(10) to a transport direction T of a media (20) that is transported across the tape
head (10) is disclosed. The tape head (10) includes at least one alignment
element (31) that is cofabricated with the write element (41) so that both the write
element (41) and the alignment element (31) have a fixed orientation with respect
to a magnetic axis M of the tape head (10). The alignment element (31) and the
write element (41) can be fabricated on the tape head (10) using standard
microelectronic photolithographic processes. Preferably, the tape head (10)
includes a plurality of alignment elements (31). Those alignment elements (31)
are operative to write alignment transitions (33) onto the media (20). The
alignment transitions (33) can be observed to determine if they are indicative of
the write element (41) having a predetermined orientation β with respect to the
transport direction T. A read transducer (60) can be used to generate signals (S 1 ,
S 2 ) from the alignment transitions (33) and those signals (S 1 , S 2 ) can be analyzed
to determine if the predetermined orientation β of the write element (41) has been
achieved. The tape head (10) can include horizontal and/or vertical elements (61,
71) for a gross visual alignment of the tape head (10) to the media (20). The
alignment transitions (33) can be read by a data element (81) of a separate data
head (70). A signal from the data element (S 1 , S 2 ) can be used to adjust the
azimuth ψ of the data head (70) with respect to a direction of transport T. In servo
writer applications where servo code is prerecorded on the media, the alignment
transitions (33) can be used to align the write elements of a servo write head to
the transport direction of the media so that inter band skew between adjacent
servo bands is significantly reduced.

Abstract: A method and system for establishing a connection link between a master device and a plurality of slave devices in a communications network having a plurality of frequency channels within a radio frequency band known as the unlicensed ISM band, wherein the connection links between the master device and the slave devices are capable of being carried out in a frequency-hopping fashion. The method comprises the steps of sending a link request to the master device requesting establishment of a non-frequency-hopping connection link between the master device and a slave device; establishing the non-frequency-hopping connection link as requested if the master device is able to select a communication channel for such a connection link; and establishing or maintaining the connection link in the frequency-hopping fashion if the master device is unable to select such a communication channel. In order to establish the non-frequency-hopping connection link, channel conditions including the carrier power of the channel and the interference and noise levels adversely affecting the connection link are measured.

Abstract: A logistics node receives a purchase order from a customer. The logistics node selects an appropriate carrier to transport products specified in the purchase order and conveys shipping instructions to the selected carrier. The logistics node also coordinates the shipment by interacting with a source node (106) associated with a supplier and a destination node (102) associated with the recipient. The logistics node provides an interface that permits users involved in the distribution chain to track the status of the shipments without having to enter tracking codes that are unique to individual carriers. The interface allows a user to access multiple 'levels' of information regarding a shipment, including information pertaining to an individual product within a shipment containing multiple products. The interface provides different 'views' for use by different respective users. Each of the views provides a corresponding set of tools for use in interacting with the freight managing service.
